The Problem with The So-Called Detox Diets

For a while, I was slightly obsessed with detox diets. Who doesn’t want to look and feel healthier and younger? Based on the idea that we are what we eat, I use to be on a detox diet off and on for months. The results in the first weeks were awesome, but as time went by I started craving unhealthy food and would be back to square one. I never gained the weight I lost, but I can’t say I felt healthier in the end.

Here’s the problem with my, and all, detox diets. You are focusing your time and energy on short term goals. Detoxing your body is important, of course, and sometimes you don’t get it through just exercising. Sometimes you do need to change what you eat but not as radically as it’s done through one of those crazy juicing diets. Your body needs time to adjust to change. If change happens too fast, it will go into survival mode because that’s what’s imprinted in every single cell of your body.

I felt that with my diets. I would lose weight and feel lighter, but I wouldn’t have the energy to do anything else, despite what all those plans promised. With my mind set on detoxing, I started searching for alternative methods. That’s when I came across the Chaga Earth’s organic Chaga tea, the all-natural supplement packed with antioxidants. The minute I read it, I felt it was too good to be true but I wouldn’t know the organic Chaga benefits unless I tried it.

After the first couple of weeks, I felt more energized, which was a first for me considering all my previous attempts. I also felt a boost to my immune system. Before, while dieting, I would feel my body temperature was all wrong and I would feel sick often.
